Description: Defines managed objects for Multiple Instance Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MIMSTP) on Juniper Networks EX-series switches.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is JUNIPER-MIMSTP-MIB?

JUNIPER-MIMSTP-MIB is a Juniper Networks proprietary MIB for Multiple Instance Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MIMSTP), used on Juniper EX-series switches to manage per-VLAN-instance spanning-tree topology for Layer 2 loop prevention. It exposes configuration and status data for MST instances/contexts, including bridge context IDs, maximum instance numbers, hop counts, and bridge addresses, along with global trace/debug controls and module status. Searching for JUNIPER-MIMSTP-MIB MIB details typically turns up jnxMIMstModuleStatus and the associated context/instance tables as the primary objects of interest. For monitoring, it is used primarily to check the software health of the spanning-tree subsystem - confirming the MSTP module is enabled and operational, and tracking topology-change events via associated traps - rather than reporting physical hardware sensor data. It extends the standard IEEE 802.1s MSTP model with Juniper's own multi-instance capability layered on top of it. It is typically deployed in enterprise/campus network monitoring of Juniper EX-series Layer 2 switch fabrics running multiple VLAN spanning-tree instances.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in JUNIPER-MIMSTP-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Juniper Networks EX-series Ethernet switch (any generation, MIMSTP feature)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll jnxMIDot1sJuniperMstTable/jnxMIDot1sJuniperMstEntry indexed by jnxMIDot1sJuniperMstContextId to see per-bridge-context MST configuration, check jnxMIMstModuleStatus to confirm the MSTP module is running, and review jnxMIMstMaxHopCount and jnxMIMstBrgAddress for current bridge parameters; a jnxMIDot1sJuniperMstTraps notification (governed by jnxMIDot1sJnxMstTrapsControl) would flag a topology change or instance reconfiguration that could indicate a loop or link flap.

What Can Be Monitored

  • MST instance/context configuration
  • spanning-tree module operational status
  • bridge address per context
  • maximum hop count
  • spanning-tree topology-change traps
  • global trace/debug settings
